Very Nice Job! I'd be proud of that, also. What tools did you use for the buffalo and the grass?

Thank you. Tools used were modeling tool, A modified F902 for the grass, beard, and leg hair. a hair blade, swivel knife, #3 scalpel with #11 blades, and a stitching awl. That's about it for the buffalo and grass. other than glue, thread and dye.

Nice job Marlon, Your wife's version? Did she take the class also?

Thanks, yes she did.

So Marlon are you sharing your tools or is she hooked enough that you have had to buy her her very own tools yet? Was this her first piece?

Ann I think she's right on the fence of having her own tools. We've been sharing so far, but at Peter's class, he brought some awls he made up and I wanted one, guess who else wanted one? So now we have two of Peter's awls. This isn't her first piece, but it is her first embossing. I'm really proud of what she can do. I think she likes dying better than anything.Marlon

Thanks Roo. Did you get to see Peter in Austrailia a couple of weeks ago? I think he said he'll be back there in another week or so.M.
